MORE BANDS HOP ONTO THE PLANET CARAVAN
Monday, August 3rd, 2009 at 3:00pm by Vince Neilstein
A couple of weeks back we reported on the sudden glut of U.S. metal festivals this year, the latest of which is the MetalSucks-sponsored Planet Caravan 2-day metal festival being held in Asheville, NC this September. Quick refresher: Clutch, Pentagram, Kylesa, Burst (first and last U.S. tour ever!), Wino and many others. Today we’re thrilled to announce that the already strong bill has gotten that much stronger with a slew of heavyweight bands added: Tombs, The Gates of Slumber, Zoroaster, Bison B.C., Sourvein, doom kings/queen Salome, and friends of MetalSucks Hull and Battilus, the latter 3 of which will be touring the U.S. together around that time. All of the newly added acts will perform on the also-newly added second stage, right next door to the Orange Peel mainstage at Mo Daddy’s.
If you live anywhere close to North Carolina, how can you even consider not going to this event? It’s going to be a fucking rager. Tickets are on sale here or at the Orange Peel box office.

It’s 80 bucks. That’s how I can consider not going to this event ;)
I always thought it said “Planet Canadian”
Fuck me, that’s a hell of a lineup. I’d imagine that everyone within a mile radius will have a contact buzz at the very least. I predict a Cheetos shortage… Stock up now and sell ‘em for 5 bucks a bag!
Some really good bands and some shitty beardo bands on that list. I still would go if I lived in the area.
I think the only band I actually like on that list is Pentagram.
orange goblin=too awesome for words
Cut ticket prices in half and I’ll go.
if this is supposed to be the epitome of the US doom scene, it’s not that impressive.
hails to the wizard /m/
I can’t believe the south finally got a good metal fest!
I’m so there!
Looks like a sweet fest! Love Clutch, Pentagram, Salome, Burst, Kylesa and a few other ragers.
They just posted half price tix for this. Passes are just $40.
